Montreal Canadiens News

4-4-16: The Canadiens, who are now without Nathan Beaulieu for the rest of the season due to a broken thumb, lost, 4-3, on Saturday against the Florida Panthers. Brendan Gallagher, who had been out since March 5 due to a lower body injury, scored in the loss. However, he has not played in a Montreal win since February 27.

3-22-16: On Sunday, the Canadiens fell for the fourth time in their last five games to give the team more regulation losses than wins in 2015-16. During that five-game span, P.K. Subban was out due to a neck injury. Michael McCarron put in Montreal’s only goal in the last two games, as the Canadiens were outscored, 9-1, in those contests.

3-8-16: Goalie Carey Price, who has been out since November due to a leg injury, could be coming back soon. On Saturday, the Canadiens finished their four-game road trip on a frustrating note. Montreal’s 4-2 loss at the hands of the Winnipeg Jets gave the Canadiens a 0-3-1 record on their road trip. Winger Max Pacioretty had two assists in the lost.

3-3-16: Losers of their last two games, the Canadiens will need to make up considerable ground in the Eastern Conference if they hope to claim a postseason berth. It will be no easy task, with the Stars, Panthers, Rangers, Red Wings and Lightning all still slated to play at Bell Centre through next month. Over the remaining 10 games in Montreal this season, the average price for Canadiens tickets is $169.40 on the secondary market.

2-23-16: The Canadiens, who have fallen on hard times this February, are in danger of missing the playoffs for the first time since 2012. Montreal stands at just 60 points as a team after tallying at least 100 in each of their last two regular seasons. On Monday, the Canadiens fell in a shootout against the visiting Nashville Predators.

2-18-16: The Canadiens, who most likely have lost goalie Carey Price for the season due to a lower body injury, lost, 3-2, to the Avalanche in Colorado on Wednesday. Montreal has been very streaky recently, as the team had a four-game losing streak that went from the end of January to the beginning of February. That streak was followed by a three-game winning streak and then the team’s current three-game losing streak.

2-10-16: The Canadiens kept rolling on Tuesday, as they closed their four-game homestand on a great note. Ben Scrivens was in the net for each of Montreal’s three consecutive wins, and he was a large part of the Canadiens’ shootout win against the Carolina Hurricanes on Sunday. That victory was sandwiched by a 5-1 victory over the Edmonton Oilers and a 4-2 win against the Tampa Bay Lightning, but Canadiens found out on Tuesday that center Brian Flynn will be out for almost two months with a lower-body injury.

2-1-16: The Canadiens, who started the 2015-16 season by winning their first nine games, were hoping to start January the same way with a 5-1 win at the Winter Classic. However, they then went on to lose eight of their next 10 games and accumulated just five points in the process. If the playoffs started at the All-Star break, the Canadiens would miss the playoffs for just the second time since 2008.

1-28-16: As fast as the Canadiens stormed out of the gate this season, they have quickly resorted to a middle-of-the-pack team over the last two months and sit in fifth place in the Atlantic division entering the All-Star break this weekend. With 17 games left at Bell Centre this season the average price for Montreal Canadiens tickets is $212.13 on the secondary market.

1-19-16: The tables have turned on the Montreal Canadiens as of late. After starting the season red-hot and owning the best record in the league, the Habs have dropped their last four games and now sit in the lower half of the Atlantic division with 50 points. Over 19 remaining games at Bell Centre this season the average secondary market price for Montreal Canadiens tickets is $214.36.

1-12-16: January has been a give-and-take for the Canadiens, who have traded wins and losses over their last seven games dating back to December 28. They'll next travel to Chicago to take on the Blackhawks on Thursday. Over the final 20 games at Bell Centre during the regular season, the average price for Montreal Canadiens tickets is $213.49 on the secondary market.

1-6-16: Going 2-8-0 in their last 10 games, the Montreal Canadiens have slipped to third place in the Atlantic Division after being the division leader for the majority of the season. They look to turn it around in their upcoming three-game home stand against the New Jersey Devils, Pittsburgh Penguins and Chicago Blackhawks.

12-23-15: It will be a much-needed holiday break for the Canadiens, who have dropped their last five games and gone just 1-9-0 in their last 10 games. The former league leader in points has seemingly hit a brick wall, though remain atop the Atlantic division at 20-13-3 on the season. The averagep price for Canadiens tickets over the team's final 22 home games at Bell Centre is $230.41 on the secondary market.

12-18-15: It has been a difficult 10-game stretch for the Canadiens, who have gone just 3-6-1 over that time. They still own sole possession of the Atlantic division with 43 points, however, and will play league-leading Dallas Stars at American Airlines Arena tomorrow night. The average price for Stars vs Canadiens tickets is $88.22 and the get-in price is $24.

12-9-15: One of two teams with 40 points on the season to date, the Montreal Canadiens try to snap their two-game losing streak against the Boston Bruins during the week before heading to Detroit to face the Red Wings. The Canadiens are 6-3-1 in their last 10 games.

11-16-15: It will be a jam-packed week for the Canadiens, who set to play four games through Sunday. At 13-3-2 the Canadiens control the top spot in the Atlantic division and will look to further increase their lead against the Canucks, Coyotes and Islanders this week. Over the three home games at Bell Centre this week, the average price for Montreal Canadiens tickets on TicketIQ is $131.83.

11-6-15: The Canadiens took a convincing 4-1 victory over the New York Islanders last night, giving them their NHL-best 12th win on the season. They'll next host the Boston Bruins at Bell Centre Saturday night. The average price for Canadiens vs Bruins tickets is currently $252.33 and the get-in price is $110. On the season, Canadiens tickets for remaining home game in Montreal are averaging $236.72 on the secondary market.

5-13-15: The Canadiens comeback from 3-0 down in the series fell short Tuesday night, as the Tampa Bay Lightning beat Montreal 4-1. Carey Price didn’t play well in game six, but he can’t do it all on his own. Sometimes he needs a little help offensively. The Habs were the top defensive team in the NHL this season, backed largely by Price, but they need to add some more scoring in the offseason if they want to take that next step.

5-11-15: Once again, the Canadiens showed their resiliency Saturday night as P.A. Parenteau scored with 4:07 remaining to life Montreal to a 2-1 game five win. The series will shift to Tampa for game
six. The Habs are trying to become the fifth team in NHL history to come back from 3-0 down to
win a best-of-7 series. The Los Angeles Kings did it last year in the first round against the Sharks.

5-8-15: The Habs avoided being swept right out of the postseason with their 6-2 victory over Tampa Bay Thursday night. Game five will be in Montreal on Saturday. Connecticut native Max Pacioretty
had a shorthanded goal and two assists to lead the way for the Canadiens. Montreal still has a
long way to go to get back into the series, but their win Thursday night was a start. The win also
snapped Montreal’s eight game losing streak against Tampa this season.

5-7-15: The Habs are on the brink of elimination after their crushing 2-1 loss Wednesday night, in which they gave up the game winning goal with 1.1 seconds remaining. Montreal played desperate Wednesday. They held Tampa to just three shots in the second period and limited them to three shots while killing all three Tampa power plays. Still, they came out on the losing end. Montreal needs to win tonight to avoid being swept out of the playoffs.

5-2-15: The Habs lost Game 1, 2-1 in double overtime at Bell Centre Friday night. They outshot the Lightning 44-35, created many scoring opportunities to win in the first overtime with 13 shots, but couldn't beat Tampa Bay goalie Ben Bishop. Montreal must get their power play going if they want to advance. They were 0-for-3 Friday and are 1-for-23 in the playoffs. They haven’t scored since the second period of Game 2 against Ottawa.

4-28-15: The Habs advanced to the second round after they dispatched the Ottawa Senators in six games this past Sunday. Carey Price stopped 43 shots for the 2-0 shutout win. After getting up 3-0 in the series, Montreal survived the Ottawa pushback, and now awaits the winner of the Tampa Bay vs. Detroit series. Montreal, if they can get past the Rangers in the East, have a real shot of hoisting Lord Stanley’s Cup.

4-20-15: Montreal will have a chance to sweep the Senators this Wednesday night. The Habs took a wild game one 4-3 in Montreal as P.K. Subban was ejected from the game for a vicious slash on Ottawa forward Mark Stone. They beat the Sens 3-2 in overtime thanks to Alex Galchenyuk’s overtime winner. As the series shifted back to Ottawa for game three, Montreal struggled at times to match the intensity of the Sens, but Dale Weise scored both the game tying goal in the third period, and the overtime winner to crush Ottawa’s souls.

4-13-15: The Habs cooled off a bit during the late stages of the regular season, but they still beat out the Tampa Bay Lightning for top spot in the Atlantic Division. They had 189 goals against which was lowest in the NHL.Montreal has a first-round date with a cinderella story that is the Ottawa Senators.

4-7-15: The Habs have five losses in their last seven games, but they still are collecting points. The Presidents' Trophy isn't out of the question just yet. They are one point behind the league-leading Rangers with two games remaining, but the Rangers have four games left. Montreal has a slim two-point lead on the Lightning for the division lead.

3-31-15: Montreal went 1-1-1 this past week. Their loss to the Predators brought an end to a three-game winning streak. The Habs are one of a handful of teams who have earned a playoff berth. Their loss against Tampa on Monday went a long way in determining who will win the Atlantic. Montreal is 0-5 against Tampa this season.

3-24-15: The Canadiens won all three games they played this past week, with Carey Price recording two shutouts. Montreal will finish first or second in the Atlantic. The Canadiens are 0-3-1 against Tampa this year and 14-5-1 against everyone else in the division. Putting off a Lightning series would be good news for the Habs.

3-3-15: The Canadiens are separating themselves in the East with four straight wins. They have only one loss in their last 10 games. Carey Price is a candidate for both the Hart and Vezina trophy. He leads the NHL in goals against average, save percentage and wins. *They are only two points behind Nashville for the most in the league with 87.

2-9-15: It was a strange week for Montreal. The Habs lost back-to-back games at home against Arizona and Buffalo. They followed those losses up with wins over New Jersey and Boston. It's a three-
team race for control of the Atlantic. Montreal is tied with Detroit, four points back of division-
leading Tampa Bay with three games in hand. If Montreal can win the division, there's a good chance they'll face Boston in the first round.

2-4-15: Carey Price should be the favorite to win the Vezina Trophy right now. Price had back-to-back shutouts against the Rangers and in overtime against Washington. Montreal did lose to the Coyotes 3-2 Sunday. They’re tied with Detroit and are one point behind Tampa Bay for the most points in the East.

1-26-15: The Habs sit third in the Atlantic Division at the All-Star break. Montreal has a 15-5-2 record vs. a 14-8-1 record away from the Bell Centre this season. Carey Price has been lights out in net and could lead them to the Cup Finals this season. GM Marc Bergevin would be wise to acquire some scoring talent at the deadline to bolster their 21st rank offense.

1-22-15: The Habs are 7-2-1 in their past 10 games. With Carey Price out, the Habs kept on winning. Price is now back and Montreal is pushing Tampa Bay for first in the Atlantic. The Canadiens
have 61 points and are three points back of Tampa. Tomas Plekanec has nine points in his past eight games.

1-7-15: The Habs had won six in a row and nine of their last 10 prior to their crushing setback against Tampa Tuesday night. Montreal is probably not as good as their record indicates, but they are racking up points and sit second in the East behind Tampa Bay. Their possession numbers do need to improve. Overall, times are good in Montreal.

12-24-14: The Habs snapped a three-game losing streak by winning four of five and two out of three last week. They had a 3-1 statement win over the Islanders Tuesday night. They have 21 goals in their past six games, including four from Alex Galchenyuk. With the Lightning struggling and the Bruins still finding their way, the Atlantic Division is there for the taking.

12-17-14: Montreal won both of its games last week, beating Vancouver 3-1 and Los Angeles 6-2 in the first two games of a five-game home stretch. They followed that up Tuesday by beating the lowly Hurricanes 4-1. Carey Price has turned aside 77 of 81 shots in their three wins. The Habs are starting to play better hockey again, and that bodes bad for the rest of the league.

12-10-14: The Canadiens are 2-5-1 in their past eight games, a stretch that includes two losses to the Sabres. They have scored 16 goals in those eight games and only nine in the six losses. They did make a statement Tuesday night by beating the upstart Canucks 3-1 at home on Jean Beliveau remembrance night.

12-3-14: Prior to their 4-3 win in Colorado Monday night, Montreal’s last two setbacks came at the hands of the lowly Sabres. The Habs power play has an ugly 14.3 percent efficiency rating. This has been a problem for Montreal for the last two seasons. It could end up coming back to bite them later on this season.

11-26-14: They’re the best team in the NHL right now. A 4-0 home loss to Pittsburgh last Tuesday and a 5-0 road loss to the Rangers this past Sunday are the Canadiens' only blemishes in their past 10 games. They are 7-0-1 in one goal games this season. Carey Price is playing tremendous and all is well in Montreal as of now.

11-19-14: The Habs currently own the best record in all of the NHL. Montreal had won six consecutive games prior to their 4-0 loss to Pittsburgh on Tuesday. After winning eight of its first nine games by just a single goal, the Habs have now had five straight wins with a margin of at least three goals. The Canadiens will be fascinating to watch for the rest of the season.

11-12-14: Their hot start has cooled off considerably, but the Habs still look to be one of the best teams in the East. Carey Price is not playing especially well to date. Once he gets going, look out. They acquired defenseman Sergei Gonchar from Dallas Tuesday in exchange for rugged winger Travis Moen. Gonchar should improve the dreadful Montreal powerplay.

11-5-14: The Canadiens entered last week with a 7-1-0 record and four games against mediocre Western
Canadian teams. Well, the Habs managed to lose three of those four games. They also got
smacked 5-0 at home by Chicago Tuesday night. Montreal is giving up on average a half a goal
more than it is scoring. If that trend doesn’t change, it could be bad winter in Montreal.

10-29-14: The Habs won both of their games last week and beat Calgary 2-1 in a shootout Tuesday night. At 8-2-0, Montreal is off to their best start since the early 1960’s. With Boston missing Zdeno Chara, and the Lightning dealing with their own various injuries, the door could be open for the Canadiens to make some noise in the Atlantic Division.

10-22-14: The Habs currently lead the NHL with 12 points. However, two of those wins were shootout victories, and they are the only club in the top half of the league with an almost even goal differential. Montreal looks to be a dangerous club this season. Andrei Markov is averaging 25:18 minutes per game, which maybe just a bit too high for a player that is known to have injury problems.

10-15-14: The Habs have shown some resiliency through their first four games this season. They had an opening night comeback win over Toronto, in which they scored the go ahead goal with less than a minute remaining in the game. Their lone blemish was an ugly 7-1 loss to Tampa. Nonetheless, three straight road wins to start the year is impressive. The combo of Alex Galchenyuk and Tomas Plekanec could be very productive this season.

10-10-14: When Montreal and Toronto play in Toronto in April, tickets will reach nearly $600 on the secondary market, the most expensive game this season. When the teams flip-flop sites and play in Montreal in February, it’ll be the season’s sixth most expensive game.
The average price of a seat for the Maple Leafs-Canadiens matchup in February is $343.67 on the secondary market, with a get-in price of $106.

Montreal is excited to have Carey Price back and hopes the franchise netminder guide the franchise to its first Stanley Cup since 1993. Up front, Max Pacioretty has developed into one of the league’s most talented scorers, tallying 39 goals last year. Along with Alex Galchenyuk and Brendan Gallagher, Pacioretty will have to be more productive on the powerplay; Montreal’s was middling last season.

The soap opera continues in Toronto. Hall of Famer Brendan Shanahan has been brought in to guide the team and he swiftly dismantled parts of the team’s managerial and coaching staffs. On the ice, the Leafs will need to be more stout defensively. It should help that Jonathan Bernier is back in net. Last year the young netminder had a .923 save percentage before he was felled by an injury.

5-27-14: The Montreal Canadiens find themselves down 3-1 and facing elimination in the best-of-7 series to the New York Rangers after a 3-2 overtime loss this past Sunday. However, it could have been a 3-2 regulation-time win if Alex Galchenyuk's shot with a little over three minutes to play in the third period had moved just one single inch. One inch lower and the Habs would be going back to the Bell Centre with the series tied at 2-2. Instead, their season is on life support and they desperately need a win to survive another day.

5-19-14: After disposing their hated rivals from Boston in seven games, the Habs find themselves in the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 2010. Their opponent, the New York Rangers will be no easy task. In Game 1 this past Saturday, Montreal was torched for seven goals in a 7-2 loss to the Rangers. Carey Price seemed to have injured his knee in the game. If Price can’t go, this series very well could be a quick one.

5-12-14: The Habs find themselves on the brink of elimination for the first time this postseason. The good news for them is they will have their home crowd in front of them for Game 6. Excluding an empty-net goal scored in Game 3, Montreal has scored six goals at even strength in the five games played thus far. Three of those have been scored by forwards, none by David Desharnais, Max Pacioretty or Thomas Vanek. Montreal must get their top players scoring or they will be heading home for the summer.

5-5-14: Montreal should be up 2-0 going back home to the Bell Centre. They won Game 1 courtesy of a P.K. Subban power-play goal in double-overtime, but blew a 3-1 lead in Game 2 which featured the Bruins scoring four goals in the third period. The aforementioned Subban has been electric through two games. The 2013 Norris Trophy-winner was exceptional in Game 1. He suffered a hand injury and left the bench for a time in Game 2, but that didn’t slow Subban down. He recorded two assists on both of Thomas Vanek’s goals.

4-28-14: Max Pacioretty’s power-play goal with 42.6 seconds to play gave the Montreal Canadiens a 4-3 win last week and most importantly it gave the Canadiens a sweep of their Eastern Conference First Round series against the Tampa Bay Lightning. From the start, the Habs were the better overall team. Goalie Carey Price was wonderful in all four games he played. Brendan Gallaher paced the Canadien offense with five points. The Habs will embark on another chapter with their long and hated rivals from Boston in the second round.

4-21-14: The Habs are one win away from sweeping Tampa Bay right out of the playoffs. They took games one and two in Tampa rather easily and came home to Montreal and dominated a dismal Lightning team in game three. The Canadiens are clicking on all cylinders right now and are poised to make a deep run in the playoffs. After a shaky performance in game one, goalie Carey Price has been stellar for Montreal.

4-14-14: Montreal had been playing well, but had a five-game winning streak snapped by Tampa Bay on April 1. The team won half of its games in April. Max Pacioretty finished the season with 60 points, but finished fourth overall on the NHL's goal-scoring list with 39 goals. In the East, only Alex Ovechkin scored more. The Canadiens will travel to Tampa for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

4-7-14: The Canadiens took two out of three games last week and are 7-1-0 in their past eight games played. This season-ending streak has put the Habs in position to have home ice in first-round matchup with the Lightning. Thomas Vanek had one assist in his first five games with the Canadiens after he was acquired from the Islanders. Since then, he has six goals and 13 points in 10 games. Not too shabby!

3-31-14: The Canadiens have been red hot as of late. They are 8-2-0 in their last ten games and have won five in a row. Max Pacioretty has been on fire has five goals in his last five games. He has a career high in goals with 35 and a total of 54 points. The Habs would have a first round date with the Tampa Bay Lightning if the playoffs ended today.

3-25-14: The Habs won two out of three this past week and their hot streak coincides with the return of Carey Price from injury. With the Maple Leafs in turmoil, the Canadiens look like they will be in a battle with Tampa for second place in the Atlantic. Thomas Vanek had a hat trick in Montreal's 6-3 win against Colorado last Tuesday and in his other seven games since he was acquired, Vanek has one goal and one assist.

3-17-14: The Habs ended a three-game skid with their 5-4 win over Ottawa this past Saturday. They needed a three-goal comeback in the third period to do it. One second was all that stood between Montreal and its fourth straight loss. They followed up their win over the Sens with a 2-0 victory over the Sabres. The return of Carey Price could not have come at a better time for a team that will be fighting for conference seeding down the stretch.

3-10-14: Thomas Vanek is an intriguing acquisition for Montreal and should help immediately. However, he’s going to be UFA at year’s end and already said he wants to test the market. The Habs gave up next to nothing for the Austrian sniper so the deal can’t hurt. As of now, the Bruins are in charge of the Atlantic Division. If the playoffs ended today, Montreal would face the Rangers in the first round. The Canadiens are good, but not good enough to beat Boston or Pittsburgh.

3-3-14: The Habs picked up five out of six points, going beyond regulation in all three of their games played this past week. Chasing down the Bruins for the division lead seems like it will be difficult, but home ice in Round 1 is attainable. Don’t expect Montreal to make any significant moves besides trying to re-sign impending UFA Andrei Markov. How Carey Price performs after winning gold in Sochi will be interesting to watch from here on out.

2-10-14: The Habs have figured things out after struggling throughout January. They have gone 5-1-1 in their past seven games and have won three straight going into the break. Montreal will be active come trade deadline and they could certainly use some scoring help up front. The Canadiens look to be a lock for the playoffs right now, but will need to play well from here on out if they want a shot to overtake Tampa and Boston in the Atlantic.

2-3-14: Michel Therrien's Canadiens are doing their best to get him fired. The club's defensive game has fallen apart and its offensive creativity has been sputtering as of late. Montreal's underlying numbers have fallen off dramatically and the team has just two wins in its last eight contests. I would not be shocked if the Habs do indeed fire Therrien. The problem is who could replace Therrien? There are not many French-speaking coaches out there currently.

1-27-14: Panic mode has set in for Habs fans, where the Canadiens have lost four straight games and have one victory in regulation in their past 11 games. Montreal remain in control of the first wild-card spot in the East, but if they continue to play like they have over the past month, it will be a temporary position Since Carey Price was named to the Canadian Olympic team on Jan. 7, he is 2-5-0 with a 4.13 goals-against average and .880 save percentage. Yikes!

1-20-14: The Habs are 4-4-2 in their last 10 games played. The team still sits above the pack of teams fighting for the postseason and its lead on Toronto for third in the Atlantic has narrowed to just four points. While Montreal seems to suddenly be in some danger from the pack, a strong run could yet propel the club to first in the Atlantic. The Habs are two points back of second-place Tampa Bay and four behind first-place Boston.

1-13-14: The Habs have been hovering around .500 for about a month and they are 7-6-2 in their past 15 games. They have been outscored 42-31 over that time A stretch like that is perfectly acceptable for staying in the top eight in the East as Montreal is only three points back of Boston for the top spot in the Atlantic Division. Danny Briere has two goals and one assist in his past 13 games, all coming in one game.

1-7-14: Montreal has one win in its last four games, a streak that follows a stretch of three wins in four games. Despite playing .500 hockey of late, the Habs have an eight-point cushion on a playoff spot and are only one point behind Tampa Bay for second in the Atlantic Division. Sophomore Alex Galchenyuk seems to have hit a bit of a rough patch of late. He has just two points in his last 10 games and has gone minus-seven in that span.

12-30-13: The Canadiens have been hovering around .500 over the last three weeks. The Habs are 4-4-0 in their past eight games. Life is still pretty good in Montreal. Montreal is five points back of first-place Boston in the Atlantic and have breathing room between them and the non-playoff teams in the East. The Canadiens are 10-2-1 against the Metropolitan Division. Based on points percentage, it's the best mark in the league against the Metro. Carey Price looks to have inside track to start for Team Canada at the Olympics.

12-23-13: After winning four straight to start the month of December, the Canadiens have traded wins and losses Montreal's playoff situation is pretty good. The team sits only three points out of first place in its division and has a four-point lead on the fourth-place Detroit Red Wings. Why defenseman Douglas Murray continues to play for the Habs blows my mind. The Swedish veteran has no points and a minus-11 rating in 21 games this year.

12-16-13: The Habs have dropped three out of their last four games, including a lousy 2-1 home loss to the Florida Panthers on this past Sunday. The Canadiens offense has gone dry. They have scored only three goals in their past four games. Montreal has three tough Western Conference opponents in Phoenix, St. Louis, and Nashville this week. The Canadiens will play their league-high 21st home game of the season this week and will follow that with a six-game road trip.

12-9-13: The Canadiens had a perfect week going 4-0, playing four games in six days. Collecting all eight possible points pushed the Habs up the Eastern Conference standings and the club is now just a single point behind Boston for the top spot. Daniel Briere has been a disappointment since signing with Montreal this summer. His numbers are unimpressive (10 points in 21 games) won’t cut it in Montreal and he's just plus-one on a plus-20 team.

12-2-13: The Habs picked up wins this past week over Buffalo and Toronto and dropped a shootout game to the Capitals. Five of Lars Eller's seven goals came in the first five games of the season, meaning he's tallied just two in his last 22 contests. Montreal is 7-1-2 in their last 10 games and would be a wildcard team in the East should the playoffs begin today. Not many people thought the Canadiens would be a factor this season; however they’re showing otherwise.

11-25-13: The Habs currently occupy the fifth place spot in the Eastern Conference and would be wildcaed playoff team if the season started today. Montreal was perfect on the week picking up wins over Pittsburgh, Washington, and Minnesota. P.K. Subban’s 20 points lead the team and quietly Alex Galchenyuk is having a stellar sophomore season. The former number three overall pick in 2012 has 16 points in 24 games played. He could be considered for Team USA in the upcoming Olympics.

11-18-13: The Habs picked up three points last week. Their lone win came against Columbus with backup Peter Budaj between the pipes. The Habs were out-shot 79-51 in their two losses with Carey Price in net. Price only gave up one goal in each contest. I think it’s pretty clear now that Price should be the favorite to start for Team Canada in Sochi. His save percentage is now .936, which trails only Josh Harding among Canadian netminders.

11-12-13: P.K. Subban should not be a happy camper right now. Despite leading the Habs in points, shots, and assists, head coach Michel Therrien has benched the Norris Trophy winner multiple times in recent games. Some have even questioned whether or not he should make Team Canada’s Olympic roster. The talk of Subban not making Team Canada is preposterous and Montreal better pay Subban the money he wants before he walks away to a rival team.

11-5-13: The Habs went 2-2 this week, which is not bad given they had two back-to-back games and three of four games on the road. Montreal is now tied with Boston for fourth in the Atlantic Division. One bright spot for the Canadiens has been all-world defenseman P.K. Subban. Subban is currently second in the NHL in defenseman scoring behind Ottawa’s Erik Karlsson. Subban has 14 points in 15 games played. It’s still early, but it looks as if Montreal will be in a dogfight to make the playoffs this season.

10-29-13: The Habs have dropped two of their last three contests towards the end of their five-game homestand. Their lone win came in a 4-1 win over the Anaheim Ducks where Carey Price stopped 31 shots thrown his way. P.K. Subban leads all NHL defenseman in points with 11 and is averaging over 25:00 minutes of ice time a game. You have to remember the Habs are only paying him $2 million this year. They must sign him to a bigger extension now.

10-21-13: Carey Price should be the starter for the Canadian Olympic team at Sochi. His play early on is indicative of that and who else is really out there. Luongo? Smith? The Habs have allowed only 15 goals against on the year. The biggest concern for Montreal is injuries. Danny Briere joins Max Pacioretty, Alexei Emelin, George Parros, and Brandon Prust to the list of injured players. Their offense has been relatively quiet the past few games.

10-14-13: The Habs are once again a top 10 possession team this season. Scoring for the Canadiens this season has primarily come from the line of Brendan Gallagher, Alex Galchenyuk, and Lars Eller. The trio has combined for nine of Montreal’s 17 goals this season. Carey Price has been stellar this season. David Desharnais, who is being counted on this year, has failed to register a point. Max Pacioretty still doesn’t look comfortable after sustaining a wrist injury opening night.

10-7-13: Habs fans can breathe a bit easier after a disappointing opening-night loss to their hated rivals from Toronto. They had a nice bounce back win against the Flyers. Carey Price has looked stellar in his two starts and should be the favorite to start in goal for Team Canada at the Olympics.

8-22-13: The Canadiens are a tough team to read entering the 2013-14 season. They jumped out to a torrid start last year but slumped down the stretch and were bounced in the first round by Ottawa in five games. The addition of Daniel Briere in the offseason via free agency offsets the loss of Michael Ryder to the New Jersey Devils. Be sure to circle Dec. 5 on your calendar as the Habs play host to their archrival Boston Bruins. Montreal hosts the Stanley Cup champion Blackhawks on Jan. 11, which is always entertaining.

8-21-13: Montreal has signed 23-year-old goaltender Dustin Tokarski to a one-year, two-way contract. The last time Tokarski played in the NHL was with Tampa in 2011-12 when he went 1-3-1.
